I like when people ask me what I am on, especially when I'm not on anything.

Or when people give you the thumps up when you are getting rdy to hit a big heavy set or simply resting.

I was hitting my last set of heavy rest pause shrugs yesterday and this young guy walks up and pops me on the shoulder like i knew him, while I had my headphones on, mentally prepping for the last set. I was thinking he was gonna ask me when i would be done, but he congratulated me on the big weight, shook my hand, and then asked for some tips later on, after I get done working out. It actually felt really good.

I for one, don't like it when people ask me what I'm on. I have to smile and say "oh just protien and creatine."

Aside from that, it does feel good when you're about to hit a heavy set of BP or squats and a group of guys gather around to watch. That happens A LOT here in China. I had 3 plates on for a set of incline BP the other day and there must have been at least a dozen guys gathering to watch. I got several thumbs up afterwards. That's definitely not something you see everyday at a gym in China. Very few guys here can even BP with two plates.

I ran into a high school jock that used to give me a hard time. I was never really picked on but I also never got along with some of the jocks. This guy recognized me and brought up some past situations. To make a long story short he said "remember when some of the guys used to mess with you, I bet they won't **** with you now." Complimenting on my size. It felt good but at the same time I wanted to bash his head in because I've always disliked this guy. Thinking to myself, yea your one of those douche bags.

Shoulda smacked him; that's not as great a compliment as he thinks.

So what, you have no redeeming qualities that keep you from getting your ass beat but your size?
